Sheetcam & CandCNC incorrect G-code

Post by slayder »

Hello,

I'm in contact with CandCNC but so far it's been a dead end, at this time the machine is a very expensive brick.

My hardware consists of the following: CandCNC and Hypertherm 85A. CandCNC hardware was purchased December 2018.

1. Most Popular Bundle - Hypertherm 85 with CPC Port
2. SuperZ with Breakaway torch mount
3. HyT Connect RS485
4. PWM IIA Module
5. Mic-03 Cable – No Cable Filter
6. Linux Mini-PC

Problem:
This issue was not always there but once it starts then I cannot get it to work correctly. Sheetcam w/rev24 & rev26 from CandCNC is creating wrong G-code, (See sample code below). I've also linked 2 youtube videos below of the issue I'm having, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tried the following:
I've updated to the latest version of Sheetcam, also tried uninstall/reinstall with no luck.

Unless I can get this solved by next week, I will be sending the Linux computer back to CandCNC for testing.

I have to admit I'm not that familiar with Tom's post processors so I don't know much about why the DTHC isn't turning on. The move to cut height after the cut has started is definitely a bug in the post processor.
Could you post your job file and the post processor here. I'll take a look and see what I can figure out.

Les,

thank you for looking into this. I've sent the Linux box back to CandCNC, attached is the job, tap files and the rev26 CandCNC post processor.

Thanks,
Dan
